Sometimes it’s hard to tell if the bad guys know they’re losing, so it’s important to read it when they say it out loud.
mencius moldbug is thinking of fleeing the country because he thinks the trump administration's chaotic half-assing of dismantling liberal democracy is going to bite them all in the ass

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldn’t cut it in police training or didn’t want to join the military.
They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if they’re pressing L1.

Remaining feds left the scene in a large caravan, deploying more tear gas straight into the crowd - and right at my feet - as they left.

It's not surprising but still utterly disgusting to me how many elite journalists will support police-state fascism just so they don't have to see some homeless people or graffiti on the drive to their six-figure jobs

This is extermination. This is genocide. And all Israeli governmental officials who have supported this must stand trial for genocide and crimes against humanity. Israel's government must be de-Nazified.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

Jonathan Joss was cold-bloodedly murdered simply for the fact that he loves another man. He was looking at the remains of his dog who had been decapitated and left for him to see.
A terrible crime. The media not calling it what it is - HATE CRIME - is also a crime.

NOW— Mass ICE arrests happened/are happening at the Manhattan immigration court at 290 Broadway on the 20th floor.
I was just outside the building and an observer came out crying, confirmed they witnessed people getting detained outside courtrooms while families watched and wept.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
